San Diego Zoo

After the 4th of July, Matt headed back to work and to take care of a few things with the new house and the kids and I traveled west to visit my Nana. The first full day we were in town, we went to the San Diego Zoo. Collin had a great day riding and snoozing in the stroller.


Last year, Paige wouldn't go anywhere near the animals in the children's zoo, but this year she had no fear.



Here she is being silly with Noni.


From the moment we arrived at the Zoo, Paige was intent on seeing the giraffes.


My own little giraffe.


Beyond just getting to see the giraffes, she also got to feed them. Once again, she had no fear even though their heads were as big as she was. She got to feed them three "biscuits" and after each one, she would jump up and down yelling, "he ate it, he ate it!" This was definitely the highlight of the day!

Other favorites included the Giant Panda's...


...and the polar bear exhibit. Here we are outside of the enclosure where they have several bears that you can climb and play on.


And here's the same picture from last year. What a difference a year makes. Paige has grown and changed so much and I was just a few months pregnant with Collin.

More fun with the Polar Bears.

The day was packed with lots of excitement and no naps, I'm not sure we made it out of the parking lot before both kids were sound asleep in the back.
